Unimédia was a French Canadian media group.
Before being bought by the Gesca group in 2000, this groupe controlled the following dailies: Le Soleil (Quebec City), Le Quotidien (Chicoutimi), and Le Droit (Ottawa). It also owned about 30 weeklies and managed three printing plants that produced newspapers, magazines and paperbacks.
Founded by Jacques Francœur, who sold it to another Canadian media mogul, Conrad Black, in 1987. On November 10, 2000, Gesca (property of Power Corporation of Canada) purchased Unimédia from Black, despite initial concerns from the government of Quebec about a possible media monopoly.
Gesca currently controls seven French language newspapers in Quebec and Ontario, but has abandoned weeklies, which are currently held by Transcontinental Media.

There were five important periods in the history of Canadian newspapers' responsible for the eventual development of the modern newspaper. These are the "Transplant Period" from 1750 to 1800, when printing and newspapers initially came to Canada as publications of government news and proclamations; followed by the "Partisan Period from 1800–1850," when individual printers and editors played a growing role in politics. The "Nation Building Period from 1850–1900," when Canadian editors began the work of establishing a common nationalistic view of Canadian society. The "Modern period" from 1900 to 1980s saw the professionalization of the industry and the growth of chains. "Current history" since the 1990s saw outside interests take over the chains, as they faced new competition from the Internet.
